Chapter 1 The Brother of the Female Supporting Character Who Broke Off the Engagement (1)
"I want to break off the engagement!"
The speaker was an extremely beautiful woman who raised her graceful neck, as proud as a swan.
Changqing shook his head, looked at the woman, and said nothing.
Beside him, a dignified middle-aged man nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's time to annul the engagement. That Ye family brat's dantian has been destroyed for three years, and he's been living a dissolute and unruly life. He's not worthy of my Xia family's daughter at all!"
"That's right. Besides, Leng Yin has also gained the appreciation of Fairy Ningguang of the Heavenly Fire Sect and will soon be a disciple of the Heavenly Fire Sect's inner sect. Ye family's good-for-nothing disciple is not even on the same level."
Beside the middle-aged man, a beautiful woman dressed in luxurious clothes agreed.
Then everyone looked at Changqing, their eyes asking questions.
Changqing was taken aback: "Huh? Do I also want to give my opinion?"
Xia Lengyin stamped her foot and said coquettishly, "Brother, Mom and Dad called you back to hear your opinion. You have to support me!" After saying that, she stared at Changqing with her almond-shaped eyes full of water.
All right.
The original owner was the eldest son and the future heir of the Xia family, so his opinion was indeed very important.
"Then let's get a refund."
He raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly.
"Brother! I knew you would support me!"
Xia Lengyin excitedly rushed over and kissed Changqing on the cheek.
The Xia family head and his wife also breathed a sigh of relief.
Their son has always been opinionated and has gained experience outside for many years, so they were really worried that he would disagree.
Changqing pushed his sister away and laughed, "Lengyin, you're supposed to be aloof and cold, how come you're so unserious?"
Xia Lengyin pouted, "That's just to save trouble and avoid those men bothering me every day, that's why I put on a cold and aloof persona."
The Xia family head and his wife smiled as they watched their two children playing around.
The siblings were very close when they were young. Even though they haven't seen each other for several years, they haven't become estranged. It's true that blood is thicker than water.
night.
Changqing lay on the soft bed, looking at the starry sky through the skylight.
a long time.
He sighed.
I've time-traveled again.
Moreover, it involves transmigrating into a fantasy novel with a story about annulled engagements.
Unfortunately, he's not the male lead, or even a supporting male character. He's the older brother of the female supporting character, Xia Lengyin, and the eldest son of the Xia family.
The male lead is naturally the one from the Ye family.
Ye Chuan!
Once the number one genius of Liuyun City, he and Xia Lengyin of the Xia family were a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
The two families arranged the marriage even before the child was born, and it was arranged by the grandfather.
only--
No one expected that just three years ago, this number one genius destroyed his dantian while hunting monsters, turning him into a cripple.
The Ye family tried many methods, but none of them could cure the disease.
Ye Chuan himself seemed to gradually give up, and began to live a dissolute life, frequenting brothels and spending money like water, becoming a well-known playboy in Liuyun City.
Just a few days ago, he was beaten up by a group of thugs and almost died because he refused to pay his gambling debts.
His reputation is completely ruined.
It was at this time that things went from bad to worse; the Xia family, who had originally agreed to the engagement, came to cancel it.
Changqing doesn't understand.
Why do the Ye family and Ye Chuan both regard this annulment of the engagement as a huge insult, as if annulment of an engagement has created a deep-seated hatred, more painful than killing their own parents?
Ye Chuan was still injured and bandaged when he came out, but he was different from his usual carefree self. He seemed like a different person. After hearing about the annulment of the engagement, he was furious and made some bold statements.
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a young man's potential!"
He refused to call off the engagement.
He claimed that if anyone should break off the engagement, it should be him; it was he who didn't want the Xia family girl, not the other way around.
He even proposed a three-year agreement, stating that he would personally go to the Xia family within three years to hand over the marriage certificate to Xia Lengyin.
Strangely—
The Xia family just disappeared like that.
The engagement wasn't called off, but the hatred was. It was all left unclear and unresolved, a case of starting strong but ending weakly.
The explanation in the story is that there were too many onlookers at the time, and the Xia family wanted to save face, so they couldn't make a big scene. They thought that it would only be three years, and they had already made their stance clear. After three years, it would be the same to break off the engagement. Besides, the Xia family didn't take Ye Chuan's words seriously at all. After all, his dantian was destroyed and his path to enlightenment was cut off, while Xia Lengyin had joined a sect and had a different future.
But who would have thought that things would develop in a completely unexpected way?
Ye Chuan surprisingly changed his usual decadent ways and healed his dantian by refining pills himself.
His cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and within a year, he directly established his foundation.
He even accidentally saved Fairy Ningguang, Xia Lengyin's master, during a training exercise. Not only that, the two even had physical intimacy while both were poisoned.
Afterwards, Fairy Ningguang wanted to kill him, but for some reason she softened and simply drove him away.
Changqing: ......
This is truly melodramatic.
Sure enough, later on, while cultivating, Fairy Ningguang would occasionally think of that man, and feelings gradually began to stir in her heart.
The three-year agreement.
Before three years had even passed, the Xia family had already become a laughingstock.
Ye Chuan completed his foundation building in one year.
Xia Lengyin did indeed fail to establish his foundation in the third year.
Ye Chuan became a third-tier alchemist, and his reputation soared. Various sects invited him to be a guest elder.
Not to be outdone, the Heavenly Fire Sect sent out Fairy Ningguang and her apprentice. When they arrived at the Ye family, Xia Lengyin was turned away at the door. Only Fairy Ningguang was shocked to see Ye Chuan. It turned out that this renowned third-tier alchemist was actually that man.
Ye Chuan was dashing and unrestrained, and also eloquent. The two poured out their hearts to each other, and their passion ignited instantly, leading them to fall into a passionate embrace.
Afterwards, Ye Chuan agreed to become the chief guest elder of Tianhuo, but he also told him about his previous experience.
Fairy Ningguang felt sorry for her beloved and immediately wanted to expel Xia Lengyin from her sect.
But Ye Chuan stopped him.
He wants to publicly become Daoist partners with Fairy Ningguang, showing off their affection every day to infuriate that blind Xia family girl.
At the grand ceremony for the two to become Daoist couples.
The hall was filled with distinguished guests.
The date also happened to be the date of the three-year agreement.
Ye Chuan took out the marriage contract in front of everyone, smiled and handed it to Xia Lengyin, saying that he was grateful to the Xia family for letting him go back then, because now he was able to marry such a beautiful and outstanding Daoist partner as Fairy Ningguang.
Xia Lengyin coughed up blood on the spot and stumbled away amidst the laughter of the crowd.
At this time, Ye Chuan had already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, while she was still trapped in Qi Refining, suffering from numerous inner demons. In order to break through, she forcibly went into seclusion, resulting in a qi deviation and indiscriminate killing. In the end, Ye Chuan arrived and acted on behalf of Heaven, causing her to perish in the late stage of Qi Refining.
The female supporting character just disappeared from the show like that.
Of course, in the story, Fairy Ningguang is only one of the female protagonists. Ye Chuan's cultivation path is still long, and he will encounter many more women, including a princess of the dynasty, a young lady from a family of alchemists, and even a white fox from the demon race. He can be said to have endless romantic encounters and enjoy the blessings of having multiple women.
As for the original owner...
In the story, the original owner didn't have much screen time; she only appeared in the memories of the female supporting character, Xia Lengyin.
It's estimated that it perished during the training process.
Changqing sighed.
Luckily, I got back early and made it in time.
break off an engagement?
Of course, you should get a refund.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
They used to be a perfect match, but now Ye Chuan is a well-known good-for-nothing with a terrible reputation, so breaking off the engagement is perfectly reasonable.
What's wrong?
Do they still need to pretend to be a loving couple?
They're not married yet!
There wasn't even any real affection involved; it was just a matter of compatibility. Since that's the case, and it's no longer suitable, of course, one should choose again.
"System, has the male protagonist Ye Chuan been possessed?"
Changqing suddenly asked.
He was genuinely suspicious. It's reasonable for someone to become even more useless after being crippled and losing hope. But for someone who was originally useless to be beaten, almost to death, and then suddenly become a completely different person, it's very similar to a plot involving possession or time travel.
The system popped up.
Yes.
Changqing has a system, which is fundamental for transmigrators.
His true form is a wood demon from the celestial realm. He lost his physical body during the divine tribulation and was bound to a system to travel through various heavens. His main goal is to seek revenge, resolve grievances, and collect the power of wishes in order to make a comeback.
"There was no possession or time travel involved. It was mentioned later in the story that the reason he acted so carefree was to see the people around him clearly. After all, a man only knows who is truly sincere when he is down on his luck. In fact, he also gained an opportunity when he was injured, which activated the old man in the ring."
Holy crap!
Changqing jumped up in one gulp.
ring!
He remembered that the ring was given to Ye Chuan by the Xia family as an engagement token. He just didn't know if the old man in the ring had been asleep for a long time or if he had entered it later.
But no matter what, I must get the ring back this time.
Is he deliberately acting like a carefree playboy to see the people around him more clearly?
All Changqing can say is, this is utterly insane.
Can people's hearts withstand the test?
Why not just enjoy a good life instead of making a mess of things?
As for the fact that they could still have sex while poisoned, that's even more absurd. Fairy Ningguang is a Golden Core cultivator who has cultivated for hundreds of years, yet she could fall in love so easily. It can only be said that the male lead's charm is just too great.
That's enough.
In a few days, the engagement will be called off, and I'll go and see for myself.
Changqing made up his mind.
Now that I, as the older brother, am back, I can't let my younger sister suffer any losses.
However, some things need to be arranged earlier.
